Sources say Beyoncé and Jay-Z left the hospital under heavy security and a motorcade to confuse paparazzi seeking flicks of Blue Ivy.

In a statement earlier this week, the couple stated that Blue Ivy’s birth was extremely peaceful and that, despite rumors, Beyoncé delivered the baby through natural childbirth and not a C-section as was widely reported.

According to the Carters, Blue Ivy weighed 7 pounds when she was born on January 7.

“It was the best experience of both of our lives,” the couple said in a statement. “We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support,” the couple said.
